If you were in the audience when "The Mae West Revue" was onstage in 1954, you might have selected Broiled Fresh Colorado Brook Trout, Maitre d'Hotel, for $5.25.• • The Sahara knew that guests wanted to bring home special keepsakes, so they commissioned souvenir keys. The front side of the key was imprinted "Hotel Sahara Las Vegas, Nevada" while the reverse message was "Come up and see me sometime, Mae West." • • Save the Date: Wednesday, 17 August 2016 • • • • Mae West: New Yorker, Vaudevillian, Upstart, and Jailbird — — a Birthday Celebration!• • • • Link: Mae West event on August 17, 2016• • Overheard in Hollywood • •• • While the motion picture "Myra Breckinridge" was not a hit, the media exposure engendered a "Mae West revival," explained The New York Post. • • In Her Own Words • •• • Mae West said: "I never loved another person the way I loved myself." • • Quote, Unquote • •• • A California paper mentioned Mae West.• • "Mae West is not, repeat NOT, on local stage" • • • • Jeff Jouett wrote: Mae West, the eternally seductive siren of the silver screen, dropped one of her blonde bombshells on Coronado Playhouse this week.
